args COMMAND command with all its arguments as a string.
Modifications to the arguments may be shown. The
output in this column may contain spaces. A
process marked <defunct> is partly dead, waiting
to be fully destroyed by its parent. Sometimes
the process args will be unavailable; when this
happens, ps will instead print the executable
name in brackets. (alias cmd, command). See
also the comm format keyword, the -f option, and
the c option.
When specified last, this column will extend to
the edge of the display. If ps can not determine
display width, as when output is redirected
(piped) into a file or another command, the
output width is undefined (it may be 80,
unlimited, determined by the TERM variable, and
so on). The COLUMNS environment variable or
--cols option may be used to exactly determine
the width in this case. The w or -w option may
be also be used to adjust width.
So if ps isn't abiding by your terminal width, be sure the COLUMNS variable is set to a sane value in the user environment and exported, etc.
Thanks but its not working, changed the COLUMNS variable. One thing which works is command line option of --cols which is not desirable as already stated by me in my original question. The value of COLUMNS is 168 but I see that ps command is showing output of much higher width.

DESCRIPTION
LinuxTaRT can use a user defined template file to generate the signature. The name and location of this file can be specified in
~/.tartrc, but defaults to the following location:
~/.tart-custom
PARAMETERS
LinuxTaRT recognizes the following directives in the template and replaces them with the corresponding values:
%c1 - CustomText1 from .tartrc
%c2 - CustomText2 from .tartrc
%tg - tagline
Randomly selected from the tagline database.
%hr - horizontal line
%dt - todays date
In the format: Monday, February 25, 2002
%12 - current hour
12-hour format
%24 - current hour

%mn - current minutes
%ap - AM / PM
%ut - system uptime
For RiscOS or systems with the sysinfo function.
%ib - time in ibeats
%vi - LinuxTaRT version string
%% - the percent symbol (%)
Any other characters in the template are copied to the signature as is.
EXAMPLES
The following template:
LinuxTaRT - The Automatic Random Tagline
%hr
/dev/random says:
%tg
http://mycompany.com
%hr
Generates the following signature:
LinuxTaRT - The Automatic Random Tagline
